Game 2302000
What a lovely gambit by black, usually it only gets a small inititive, but because of 1.a4 Black gets an extra move.....
hahaha, He crushed you.

Now, since that's the case - and I'm only a 1600 player (don't really care about 1400; already made it) - how can you get me from 1600 to 1800? I've tried everything lately! What do I need to do? I'm depressed! 1800 class A is my lifetime dream when concerning this beautiful game.
Check my new thread. Your request has been granted, 1600 here we come!

Good posting. Although I think it would be better to download winboard for free, install it and use these excercises from Fred Reinfeld's 1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations

As for solutions. No. I am doing those puzzles also so what I do is open them up in a chess program like fritz, solve them in my head and then let the computer solve them and compare the two solutions.
